The hydraulic mule that was donated a year ago was finally tested on 3-phase power and seems to work quite well. The museum is looking for 100' of 6 AWG or 8 AWG four-wire extension cable (flexible) or three-wire + ground. This will allow us to use the mule in almost any location in hangar three.

This mule has a 10 hp motor which drives two independent systems serving up to 3000 psi. Several of the aircraft require a high-volume, high-pressure mule to fully test their hydraulic systems.

Cold War Air Museum

The Cold War Air Museum is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the restoration and maintenance of Cold War era aircraft with a special emphasis on aircraft flown by the former Soviet Union.

Most of the museum's 20+ aircraft are in flying condition or being made ready for flight.

The museum is located on Lancaster Municipal Airport, twenty minutes south of Dallas, Texas. The museum has tour hours of 10am to 4pm on Saturdays but is open all day most weekends. There is a cafe on the field that serves a full breakfast and lunch menu.
